Calcium 475
Alkinity 4.5 Meq
Magnesium 1325

Now in my refugium , also close to my skimmer i am lighting with daylight compact flouresent bulbs and coraline grows fine.

Can you have to much light for coraline growth?

before my tank crashed...i had a lot of coraline growth...seemed to do better when i kep the lights to 8 or less hours a day....
